Chapter 11

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

While those children were playing hide-and-seek, they discovered the secret passage.

“Ah~!”

A scream drew everyone’s attention.

Tian Wenjing arrived at the entrance of the basement first.

She jumped in and found the child who had screamed.

At the same time, she discovered the children locked in the cages.

Looking at these children with broken hands and feet.

Tian Wenjing’s eyes instantly turned red.

“Beasts, beasts, they really are a bunch of beasts!”

Tian Wenjing stepped forward, shooting out a sharp wind blade, destroying the iron bars of the cage.

She prepared to step forward to check on the children’s condition.

These little ones were so scared they retreated, all huddling in the corner of the wall.

“Sigh!”

Tian Wenjing sighed and stomped her foot hard.

Then she climbed out of the basement.

“Did you do all those things down there?”

Tian Wenjing looked at Jia Zhen with anger.

“That’s right, it was me.”

Jia Zhen had an expression of being in control.

With so many people on the scene, plus he was an eighth-tier Soldier Realm ability user.

In Jia Zhen’s eyes, Tian Wenjing was just a weak girl.

Although she looked like someone who practiced martial arts.

However.

Martial arts were useless in front of a real ability user.

“Go to hell!”

Tian Wenjing flew toward Jia Zhen.

“Grab her for me.”

Several burly men flew toward Tian Wenjing.

Seeing this, Tian Wenjing kicked a few times quickly, kicking all the people who surrounded her away.

“Not good, I kicked an iron plate.”

Jia Zhen panicked a bit; Tian Wenjing had only used a few moves.

He knew Tian Wenjing was not someone to be trifled with.

He turned around and wanted to flee.

“Where are you going?”

Tian Wenjing turned her right hand into a blade and swung it hard.

A sharp wind blade broke through the air.

Whoosh!

The wind blade flew toward Jia Zhen’s back.

Pfft!

It hit Jia Zhen directly.

Jia Zhen fell to the ground, seriously injured.

Just as Tian Wenjing was about to step forward to attack.

She felt a sense of danger and jumped away immediately.

A fireball landed on the spot where Tian Wenjing had just been.

It exploded immediately.

Tian Wenjing looked toward the attacker, only to find the other party had disappeared without a trace.

“Damn it, he escaped again.”

The other party was none other than the person who had plundered Zhao Ritian’s ability.

For these past days, Tian Wenjing had been tracking his whereabouts.

She hadn’t expected him to appear here.

Tian Wenjing looked toward Jia Zhen.

Only to find Jia Zhen was gone.

A large pool of blood was left on the ground.

Tian Wenjing had held back just now.

Jia Zhen, with the joy of surviving a disaster, prepared to escape from here.

But a figure blocked his path.

It was Chen Hao.

“Go to hell!”

Jia Zhen, with his seriously injured body, threw a punch toward Chen Hao.

Seeing this, Chen Hao used his [Fire Manipulation] ability directly.

A flame shot toward Jia Zhen.

Enveloping Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen was swallowed by the flames; he fell to the ground and began to wail.

Tian Wenjing ran over following the wailing.

She saw Jia Zhen being burned alive by the flames.

Chen Hao’s flames were extremely overbearing, burning Jia Zhen directly into ashes.

“Ding-dong!”

“Congratulations to the host, corpse processing successful!”

“Obtained D-grade ability—[Hypocritical]!”

“Done!”

With the [Hypocritical] ability, in the future, when ordinary people saw his pale complexion,

they would only think he was anemic or had some other illness.

They would never think in the direction that Chen Hao was cultivating evil arts.

“Did you know about the things here long ago?”

Looking at Jia Zhen, who had been burned to ashes, Tian Wenjing said to Chen Hao.

“Yeah.”

Chen Hao nodded.

“My strength wasn’t enough, so I could only call you over in that way.”

Hearing this, Tian Wenjing smiled slightly.

“Thank you for this time.”

If Chen Hao hadn’t called her, she wouldn’t have been able to save those children.

Those children would probably still be suffering.

While speaking, Tian Wenjing heard the sound of sirens; the reinforcements had arrived.

“Alright, you can go now.”

“I’ll handle the rest of the matters.”

“After I finish, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“Then thank you very much.”

Chen Hao left directly.

...Three days later, at a barbecue stall.

Chen Hao picked up a pancake and slid the roasted meat off two skewers.

He stuffed a green onion inside.

“Come, try the pancake-wrapped roasted meat here.”

Chen Hao handed the wrapped meat to Tian Wenjing.

“Thank you.”

Tian Wenjing didn’t stand on ceremony with Chen Hao; she took it and began to eat.

“How are things with the orphanage?”

Chen Hao couldn’t help but ask Tian Wenjing.

“It’s already settled.”

“Those injured children have received treatment, and the healthy children have also been properly placed.”

Tian Wenjing seemed to remember something, her expression full of gnashing teeth.

“It’s a pity we didn’t catch the mastermind behind the scenes.”

“This group of damn beasts actually broke those children’s hands or feet.”

“Then made them go out to the streets to beg.”

“If they couldn’t beg for money, they would get a beating when they returned.”

Tian Wenjing became angrier the more she thought about it.

At the same time, she felt a bit annoyed.

If only she could have discovered it sooner.

Tian Wenjing suddenly felt a bit lonely and solitary; she wanted a helper.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at Chen Hao.

“Don’t look at me; I’m just a common, ordinary person.”

“I just want to live my little life peacefully.”

“A common, ordinary person?”

“Which common, ordinary person is qualified to use fire?”

“And is able to burn someone alive.”

Tian Wenjing couldn’t help but envy Chen Hao’s ability.

“The imitation ability is truly powerful!”

Tian Wenjing admitted that she had underestimated Chen Hao.

After finishing the meal with Tian Wenjing.

The two parted ways and went home.

Chen Hao had drunk a little alcohol, and his head felt a bit dizzy.

Just as he arrived at his door, he discovered his door had been opened.

“What’s the situation?”

He became alert instantly.

He walked inside.

He hadn’t taken many steps.

A man wearing black clothes and a mask flew toward Chen Hao.

Seeing this, Chen Hao condensed a ball of fire in his right hand and threw it at the man.

Boom!

The scorching flames hit the man, instantly setting his clothes on fire.

The man was in pain and desperately patted the flames on his body.

Seeing this, Chen Hao made a fist with his right hand.

Flames swirled around his fist, and he struck toward the man’s head.

Under the blessing of the C-grade ability [Strength Enhancement].

Chen Hao’s fist slammed into the man’s head, blowing it up directly.

Looking at the fallen man, Chen Hao glanced coldly.

He was surprised to find that the man had a scorpion tattoo on his neck.

“Scorpion Brigade!!!”

Chen Hao secretly thought to himself that it was bad.

“Great, no more peaceful days from now on.”

Chen Hao hadn’t expected the Scorpion Brigade to actually come to his door.

The other party was a fifth-tier Soldier Realm ability user.

Possessing the E-grade ability [Small Knife Hand].

[Small Knife Hand]: When using a small knife, it can increase flexibility, improve attack fluency, and increase attack damage.

Chen Hao used 《Corpse Cultivation》 on the corpse.

Immediately, the corpse was like a deflated ball, instantly shriveling up.

Before long, it became a dried corpse.

“Reached the fifth tier of the Soldier Realm.”

Chen Hao suddenly discovered a problem: the corpses of strong people contained more energy.

Absorbing it, his strength improved faster.

“Scorpion Brigade, huh?”

“Very well, let you guys help me cultivate.”

Chen Hao had previously been wondering how to cultivate his technique.

Now he had a target, and that was the Scorpion Brigade.
